Mr. Turner with the Farm Geese

Photographic print in an album. Mr. Wayne Turner observes the two farm geese and their goslings on the farm property of the Turner Farm in LaFayette, New York. The barn and Bare Mountain are in the background. On the back of the photograph is handwritten, "Daddy with the goose family/May 1949."
This photograph is part of an album of the Wayne O. and Marion Turner farm which was in operation from 1945-1956 at RD 1, LaFayette, New York. It was first a chicken farm and then a vegetable truck farm. The Turner's sold produce at the Syracuse Regional Market during that time. After the farm stopped operating, the barn was re-modeled into The Syracuse Motel and part of the farm was sold to the Jewish Federation of Syracuse and made into "Camp Fren-Le."
